THEOLOGIANS say God has many names. The pronunciation is lost. Does God know how to pronounce it? it's a senseless claim? Is he dead?

    Some teach that, but the simple thing is our languages are different from the ancient tongues. Then there is also the problem that we don't share a common language with Heaven. Even in earthly languages some find my name difficult to pronounce, it only seems to make sense that because I don't speak heavenesse that I could not pronounce Gods name even if I heard it spoken. We more then likely don't even have the right letters in our alphabets to spell that name- let alone speak it!

    The important thing is to serve the God of Righteousness only!

    We do not know how to pronounce God`s name, however that has never been important. God sees to the heart and know those who are truly calling on Him. Psalm 138 might be interesting in this issue.

    2 I will worship toward Your holy temple,

    And praise Your name

    For Your lovingkindness and Your truth;

    For You have magnified Your word above all Your name.

    However it might also be interpreted this way:

    Your word … Your name. Most likely this means that God’s latest revelation (“Your word”) exceeded all previous revelation about God. This would be in concert with David’s prayer (2Sa 7:18–29) after he received the Davidic promise (2Sa 7:12–14, 16).

    Hello I don't wish to do no more than answer the question. but if the name of God the pronunciations has been lost does it or is it truly relevant, and is that reason enough to give up on the faith you have had when you first began in faith. Which was not faith in an name, but in God, and Jesus Christ
